I have the C5CA which is identical to the C3CA except for the enclosure (mine is black)

The below picture is my actual one that I had imported to Australia back in late 2013 after purchasing from Audio Emotion in the U.K. The great staff there even helped with organising International shipping.........AND gave me a bit off!!!!Cost me 350 pounds to get it here though.............weighs a ton!!!!

It sounds absolutely SUPERB and fits in VERY well with my SCM 70A SL Mains.Of course I would prefer a C6A but they are just TOO much $$ for me!!!

Both the C5CA and the C3CA are clearly a BIG step above the C3C just regarding drivers............let alone being active.

I don't know if ATC have plans to release an updated C3CA or C5CA with their new tweeter as yet.

If I was you though I would be looking for a MUCH cheaper used C5CA..... vs buying an EXPENSIVE new C3CA..... as they are the EXACT SAME thing!!!

It is a good option. If I ever go for an active centre it will be when I move into bigger accommodation. Big size will present less of an issue then so might as well get that one. Just exploring the range at this stage.

Linger you are quite right ! i think the SCM45a is the way to go, I have the C4A between two 20/2's about to go SCM45Athe C4A will go in classifieds or Fleebay soon! We all need to mid ome and New tweeter !

Wish I had the space and $

LOL.......yep.....totally agree about the mid dome and new tweet!!!!!

Here's an angle for you..........3 x SCM45A's for the front and move your 20/2's to the rear!!!!!........

Nice idea but don't have the room or Monies ! (Uk pounds)

My 5.1 rears need to be wall mounted so going with the new HTS 11's.

Looking forward to the 45a as a centre and the new wall mounts this will mean the core 5.1 of my cinemasystem will all be ATC for the first time ! ( the other rears and in celing atmos are other brands )
